Have you been licking chickens again?????
Signs are similar to food poisoning - diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever, 
etc.

i've had confirmed salmonella three times -- once in high school and once for each pregnancy.
only taken antibiotics for it once.
Lasted about 4 days- of feeling horrible... then it just goes away.
not a pleasant experience but as you can tell i didn't learn my lesson the first or second time...
no more licking snakes for me....
(lol)
